I too have a Wifi stick and it will not work with WICD. It's a different brand/model so it's not just your stick. Install network-manager-gnome from your Synaptic and use that, it will recognize the Wifi stick right away. We are among the 5% that don't work with WICD.
Edit: You must have a wired connection to download the nmgnome.

I tried usb-modeswitch and it did not work for me. I have a Netgear WG111v3, it works on laptop or desktop and will work on Apple Macs.

If you have an internet connection on your netbook you can switch over to network manager really easy by running aptitude install network-manager-gnome as root. This is safe and effective, it just uses more resources. But, will probably become the default in future image builds since it fixes most the reported networking problems here in the forums.
